Review Questions: 2) physics is a branch of science that studies the most general principles underlying the natural world. 6) According to the earlist greek theory, planets move at a uniform rate around Earth. However,a careful observer can realize that planets are moving nonuniformly relative to the background stars. 17) Tycho Brahe worked with accurate devices to take data on the motion of the planets. Brahe's accurate measurments (used by Keplar) showed that theories of Copernicus and Ptolemy were flawed. 20) In science, we learn from experience, as in life. Science is objective, hypothesis proved by performing experiments and making measurements. Here it differs from art which is largely subjective. Conceptual Exercises: 2) diagram: 14) Each theory uses the concept of eccentricity. 20) Both Ptolemy's Earth-centered theory and Copernicus's sun-centered theory correctly predicted the (then) known data. 21) Theories must always agree with the data. An aesthetic argument like this doesn`t have any place in science. 30) 1million / 100 billion = 0.00001 32) 4LY/ 8min = 4*365*24*60 / 8 = 262800 AU
